After a little setup and several configurations, here the pleasant aspect of my Unix Box, powered by
FreeBSD6 and Enlightenment e17.
The passage from the Slack has been rather painless, remembering “If you know RedHat you know RedHat, if you know Slackware you know Unix”…
Now I’ve a solid system, cleaned up and fast, and very funny (see screenshot…); the management of the packages (in jargon ports) is fabulous, and can be assimilated to the system Portage di Gentoo, therefore download + patching + compilation, with annexed control of the dependencies. For who instead it does not want to wait for, the precompiled packages are however available.
I’ve had way to try it also on notebook a Acer not just recent, and me it has truly brought back while still alive.
Between some day the system will be ready, therefore I’ll move the mail from the harddisk with the Slack, and once freed this last one I will be able to begin to test also an other *BSD a lot interesting, above all from the point of view of the portability (more than 50 architectures in same the source-tree!): NetBSD.
